Sai Satcharitra - Ovi to Ovi english Translation - Chp- VI

[Guest guest]

106. Dixit was a great devotee of Baba. The desire to go to Shirdi would be fulfilled if he takes it upon himself and, along with personal gain, spiritual benefits will be achieved. 107. So he told Dixit that, as his yearly stipend was temporarily held back, he had thought of having Baba’s darshan and performing the kirtan there. 108. Bhausaheb then replied that there was no certainty of payment. To give or not to give was in the hands of Baba, and even for the kirtan, permission would be required. 109. While this conversation was going on, Kaka Mahajani came along unexpectedly and distributed “udi” as prasad of Shirdi and this was considered to be a good omen. 110. Mahajani had just returned from Shirdi. He conveyed that all was well there and thereafter returned to his

residence. 111. Later on, Dixit very lovingly told Buva that he would ask for Baba’s permission and if it was granted, he would definitely let him know. 112. “As soon as you receive the letter, come to Shirdi. Do not worry about the travelling expenses. You will not have to bear them. Have no doubts about it”. 113. Later Dixit preceded (Balabuva). Baba gave his permission. Balabuva came to Shirdi and had darshan to his heart’s content. 114. Sai Baba got the elaborate festival of Ramnavami performed in his presence with great love at the hands of Balabuva. 115. Balabuva was happy at heart. The objective had been fulfilled. Sai was also pleased. Thus everyone’s wishes were fulfilled. 116. His expectations were more than fulfilled. Rs. 150/- was ordered to be received by him; and Buva was extremely happy. 117. Why shouldn’t Balabuva be happy? when Baba gave as much earnings as he would have had in five years in Kavathe for one festival. Thus he was indebted to Baba. 118. Later on when Das Ganu was once in Shirdi, Baba on being so entreated, entrusted Das Ganu with the

performance of the kirtan at the festival every year. 119. Since then, till this day, the Janmotsav26 is celebrated with a lot of pomp and pageantry. Food is distributed to the heart’s content and the poor and down-trodden are happy. 120. At the main gate of the Samadhi Mandir, accompanied by the music played by the traditional instruments (like changbada and

shehnai), the chant of Baba’s name resounds in the skies and the atmosphere is suffused with joy.http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
